Why X-Ray L.S. Spine LAT is Important
The lumbar region of the spine bears most of the body’s weight and plays a crucial role in movement and support. Accurate imaging of this area is vital for proper diagnosis of lower back pain and related symptoms. An X-Ray L.S. Spine LAT in Karad at Diagnopein helps doctors:
-
Detect bone fractures after an injury or accident
-
Evaluate spinal alignment and curvature (lordosis or scoliosis)
-
Identify degenerative diseases like arthritis or osteoporosis
-
Monitor postoperative spinal conditions and surgical outcomes
-
Assess bone density and detect bone infections or tumors
Getting a lateral view enables precise evaluation from a different angle, offering a more comprehensive understanding of spine health.
